After more than 40 years, Silberstreif's EP ‘Ich suche dein Gesicht’, first released on Sky Records in 1983, is available again. Rather unusual for Sky's catalogue, the duo played flawless synth-pop with German-language lyrics. This EP sank into obscurity in the 1980s flood of hyper-commercial German New Wave releases. The band later became an insider tip and the EP a sought-after collector's item. The re-issue is accompanied by four previously unreleased bonus tracks.
‘Overdue, a re-issue of this great, rare EP from 1983.
While that year, the major labels were finally exploiting everything commercially that even rudimentarily fitted the NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle – German New Wave) buzzword, we can now look back and realise that there were still countless creative bands, projects and artists in the musical underground.
The release by SILBERSTREIF shows like no other that the focus of the German 1980s underground was not only on odd and experimental sounds, but also on poppy and melodic ones. Listening to these hopeful, almost innocent synth melodies paired with dark lyrics circling around obsessive male protagonists, one can’t help but imagine how this band re-asserted its artistic freedom by leaning into the musical tropes of sell-out and commercialization – with a subtle subversive middle finger… The duo play fantastic and timeless synth-pop which is still relevant today and still gets crowds dancing in trendy clubs between songs by Human League and Grauzone.
Like I said, this re-issue is long overdue!’
